HOUSTON — Fresh off her victory in Nevada, Hillary Clinton told a Texas crowd late Saturday that she wants to take on the state’s law requiring photo ID to vote.

“Here in Texas and in state after state, [Republicans are] doing everything they can to stop black people, Latinos, poor people, young people and people with disabilities from voting,” Clinton said. “It is a blast from the Jim Crow past.”

Clinton spoke to a crowd of about 2,000 people in a gymnasium at Texas Southern University, a historically black university in Houston. She touched on many racial disparity issues, like poverty and poor water quality in Flint, Mich.

"Let's imagine together a world where no child grows up in the shadow of discrimination or the specter of deportation," Clinton said.

It was her second appearance at Texas Southern University since announcing she was running for the presidency in 2015.

“If we listen to the hopes and the heartaches of hard-working people across American, it is clear there is so much more we have to do,” Clinton said.

Before Clinton addressed the crowd, U.S. Housing Secretary Julián Castro said he looked forward to watching Republican political guru Karl Rove go “berserk” on Fox News when Clinton is declared the winner this fall. Castro, a former San Antonio mayor, is considered a top contender to be Clinton’s running mate if she secures the Democratic nomination.

With a little more than a week until Super Tuesday, Clinton is making a blitz in the Lone Star State. She leads Sanders by more than 20 percentage points, according to the few polls conducted in Texas.

Her husband will make appearances in Laredo and Dallas on Monday. Clinton has already amassed pledges from about half of the state’s superdelegates, and she touts a long list of prominent Texan endorsements.

A line of excited Clinton supporters began to form outside the event more than five hours before she was set to speak.

Melisa Vila, a 19-year-old student studying architectural engineering at the University of Texas at Austin, left the state's capital at 7:30 Saturday morning to ensure she could see Clinton speak. She was fifth in line.

"She's been a huge inspiration throughout my life," Vila said.

She was worried about studying for a test on Tuesday, but said she had to make the time to see Clinton. "She's my hero."

Sanders has been courting young voters, and exit polls in Nevada showed 8 in 10 among the youngest voting bloc were backing Sanders.

But Vila said she was supporting Clinton because she was the most experienced candidate for the job. It was a reason echoed by other supporters in line

“She’s been everywhere,” said Ezekiel Nwajiaku, who's been in Houston for 19 years. "I don't know where Sanders has been."
